    Thanks.Rolf.
    It certainly is . I'm not sure if it is the largest of Britons Butterflies

    It is about the 4th largestis the Swallow tail I have found and the Purple Emperor is also larger.
    The Brimstone is a large butterfly. It is a powerful flyer, with a wingspan of up to 6 centimetres.
